　　Hong Kong pop star Zhang Guorong, 46, jumped out of a window of Mandarin Oriental Hotel at the start of April, 2003, leaving behind sorrowful fans and suicide note which newspapers said was caused by emotional(情感的)problems．His death shocked the public and incident again brought a serious topic to light-suicide．

　　Zhang was best known globally for his part in the blockbuster film “Farewell My Concubine”, where he played a homosexual(同性恋的)Chinese opera singer．The popular 1993 film won a lot of awards including the world-famous Palmed^’Or at the Cannes Film Festival．However, such achievements could not make Zhang content with his life．It was reported that long before his death, Zhang had been suffering from depression(意志消沉)．His tragedy shows we need to learn how to reduce the pressure from our society by happily and naturally facing life．Depression, a mental illness, and suicide have often been highlighted in the past as serious social problems－and for good reason．

When Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.
